Pharmacology
The APOTHECALCis a pre-programmed computer with
sequences that
calculate body surface area, dose rates, administration rates for medication,
volume, concentration and more. It is also a powerful units measurement
converter with a 28 key conversions like CC to
ounce, grain to GM, ML to
MCGTT, F° to C°, LB to KG, MG to GM and more. in addition, the
APOTHECALCis a normal five-function calculator. Other
features include:
- Memory stores results, saving re-entry of data
- Backlit display allows reading in all light levels
- Detailed instruction manual plus Quick Reference Guide
- 30-day money back guarantee
- One-year warranty
112.5mm (4-3/8") x 74mm (2-7/8") x 7mm 3/8" Power source:
two lithium button batteries.
Features:
- Programs: The APOTHECALC's preprogrammed sequences can
compute drug calculations, dose, rate, volume, concentration without
nomograms and charts.
- Units Conversions: Converts any of 28 common apothecary
measures, including temperature, weights and fluid volumes, at the touch
of a key. (See Conversion Operations for complete listing)
- Speed: Ouickly compute any of the commonly-used IV formulas without nomograms or
charts.
- Fast Recheck: Step quickly through a formula to see the values used in arriving at the result.
- Fast Error Corrections: Erroneous values quickly replaced and new results computed
without going through the entire problem again.
- Accuracy: Results shown to tenths of a unit, expandable to five decimal places with one key
press.
- Informative Display: Prompts you for required data entry and shows which unit of
measure the displayed result represents.
- Accuracy of Entries: A switchable tone announces the activation of keys. Eliminates
inadvertent double-entry and no-entry errors.
- Use at Night or in Dim Light: Switchable backlighting makes the display easy to read
without external light source.
- Size: Designed to fit comfortably in your hand or for carrying in a pocket or pouch.
- Power: Uses long-lasting, easy-to-get lithium batteries.
Turns off automatically if you forget;
increases battery life.
APOTHECALC's power preprogrammed sequences allow you to:
- Use DRIP1 to solve problems like this: An 83 Kg patient is to be given
- Dopamine at 13 mcg/kg/min using a solution at 800 mg in 500 ml of D5W. What is the infusion rate? What is the drip factor ?
- Use 28 hey unit conversions lihe these: CC to ounce, grain to GM, ML to MCGTT, F0 to C0, Lb to KG, MG to GM and more.
- Use VOL to solve problems like this: A loading dose of 140 mg gentamycin has just been mixed in 100 cc diluent when the order is changed to 120 mg. What volume of fluid should be discarded?
- Use BSA to calculate Body Surface Area for administration of chemotherapeutics and pediatric IVs.
PLUS
- Memory stores results, saves rekeying
- Quick Reference Guide included
- Backlit display for easy reading
- 30-day money back guarantee
- One-year warranty
